Cappadonna – The Pillage (2LP Reissue) [Get On Down GET51516]

Cappadonna is one of the original members of Wu-Tang Clan absent from their debut album Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers) due to being locked up at the time of recording. Three years later he would get his chance to shine on Ghostface’s debut Ironman.

In 1997 Cappadonna was prominently featured on Wu-Tang’s second album Wu-Tang Forever. The following year the spotlight was on Cappadonna for the release of his debut album The Pillage.

With production overseen by the RZA and Wu producers True Mathematics, True Master, and Goldfinghaz, The Pillage dropped on March 24th, 1998, and was certified Gold one month later. From the classic opening track “Slang Editorial” reporting on the streets to the closing track “Black Boy” where Cappadonna spits lyrics about being a free man and rejoining the Wu, The Pillage is another classic Wu solo debut.

To commemorate the 25th Anniversary of The Pillage, Get On Down is proud to present, for the first time on vinyl since it was originally released in 1998, a limited edition pressing on double clear with black swirl coloured vinyl in printed inner sleeves with a 25th Anniversary commemorative OBI limited to 2000 numbered copies.
